As a result of their submissions, Arrowhead Elementary School students Nickolette Costigan, Jillian Gallagher, Ava LaRusso, Caly Reischman, Adam Wain and Lexi Wilcken were named winners in this year’s Long Island Speech and Hearing Association poster contest.

Participants from several schools across Long Island submitted original works of art to help illustrate the importance of "communication" in celebration of May being named Better Speech and Hearing Month. Each of the winning Arrowhead students will receive a monetary prize and be honored at an awards ceremony and reception on May 22nd in Westbury, New York.

In addition to the poster contest submissions, Arrowhead’s speech-language therapeutic program teachers worked to highlight "communication" throughout the school in May. Their efforts included sharing tips for teachers, associated quotations read on the morning announcements and small posters placed in the hallways.
